back from hiatus...

I have not been in the mood to post lately.... no particular reason other than I've been SUPER lazy lately. So let me catch you up on the excitment that is my life right now.

I have been on a mini-vacation this week. I start my new job on Monday the 23rd and I am sooo excited to start. So I have been home this week with Isabel, she's on February vaca... and I have actually been pretty productive. I managed to clean my entire apartment, I did all the kids laundry, I managed to get Isabel to ACTUALLY clean her room, I delivered girl scout cookies, and have the rest of the troops cookies ready for pick up/delivery.

Today I'm done... I am in such a mood for a nap that I think after I have some lunch I'm gonna try to snooze a little. I deserve it... i'm growing a baby here! That expends a lot of energy you know!

So yesterday I went for my first ultra sound! So exciting, its a little early since I was only 13 weeks along, but my mid-wife wanted to get a more accurate date on the pregnancy since she was suspecting I was further along than we both believed. So I took Isabel with me and off to the clinic we went, with a FULL bladder. I arrived at the clinic with 10 minutes to spare and signed in... "I'm sorry Mrs. Castano, we don't have you on the schedule today for an ultrasound" WHAT!!! After 15 minutes of telling them that the appointment had been rescheduled 3 times, that so and so had told me to be here today at 11am WITH a full bladder... and let me tell you (this part I thought to myself...) I am not leaving until we see this baby!

Well, apparently so and so had scheduled me to get the ultra sound at the hospital and had not mentioned it me or the nurses (nice!), conveniently the hospital is only a few feet away in the next entrance... and off I went to get my ultra sound.

So, the baby was just jumping around in there like there is some kind of party going on.... very active this one is! After all the measurements were taken, I am apparently 14 weeks 2 days and not 13 weeks like we first thought... YEA! One less week of summer pregnancy! This now puts the baby's due date at August 17th... I'll take it!

Next, the question of the day... can you tell the sex of the baby? or is it too early? At this point, Isabel pipes up about how it HAS to be a girl... she wants a little sister, no more brothers.... and I watch as the tech moves her wand thingy over to where the baby's bottom is ... and I know without her saying it.... Isabel was NOT happy!

IT'S A..... BOY!!!! to be further confirmed in about 6 weeks when we go for my 20 week ultrasound, but its a boy! I was hoping for a girl, because well... girls are just so much more fun to shop for, to make things for, to dress up, to put bow in their hair... you know! But I am just happy to have a healthy baby growing in there!

The only other thing going on is that I am knitting another baby sweater for baby X (no names just yet). I love the color of this yarn, its Red Heart Designer in Celedon. Here is a pic of the back... what do you think so far? I like the pattern, but what I found out is, all the peices are made (back, fronts and sleeves) and then put onto a circular needle and the yoke is worked up... thus joining all the pieces together at the arm hole line. Interesting!

So, that's it for now. I think I'm gonna have some meatballs and take at least a 30 minute snooze.

I promise to check in a little more from now on. maybe....

Wordless Wednesday

Ok, so this is a day late... but due to my moping and lack of motivation I didn't post yesterday... but I love this pic and I have to post it even if it is a day late....

This is Tyler digging into a gift bag at his birthday looking for more toys under the nice clothes! Who cares about clothes... I want TOYS!!!!!

Gotta love the boy.

I'm linking up late... but here is where to link!!!

update....

So here is the update on my job dilema.....

I... GOT..... THE JOB!!!!!! Yea me!!!! I'm so happy... doin' the happy dance... shaking my booty, yeah I'm shaking my booty!

I am soooo happy! I gave my notice today... It had to be the best moment in my life! I was so miserable at my job, and I was moping last night just thinking I was going to have to go back there tomorrow... and then the phone rang! My heart skipped a beat.

So I spoke with the attorney, he apologized and ten told me that I was still the best candidate for the job and that he hadn't changed his mind and would work with me and we would be fine! (happy, happy stupid grin on my face!)

When I finally got off the phone, I felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted from my shoulders! There is nothing worse than working in a place that you are miserable, you get treated bad, without any respect and on top of that your "supervisor" acts like you don't exist.

Woo Hoo! So I want to thank you guys for crossing your fingers and all your prayers that this job would come through.

I'm sooo upset today!!!

I'm sooo upset! I got a great job offer this weekend, I was so excited and happy... yeah no more hating my stupid stupid job. And being the nice person that I am, I decided to tell my potential new employer about being pregnant... WELLL apparently the baby has eaten the "smart" portion of my brain because this was not a good idea by any means. The potential new employer is now pondering if it would be wise to bring me on board to only have me go on an 8 week hiatus of maternity leave! waaaaa!!!!

I did mention to my potential new employer that since my position would give me the ability to work from home, I could go to the office a few days a week and do the rest from home, with no problem... I think this is why he is pondering still.

Pray that he doesn't change his mind and still gives me the job! I am sooo stressed at my current job and I hate it! I was so happy about potentially walking out today a "free" woman and not having to come back here ever again, but that has been put on hold for the next day or so while the potential new employer ponders on the pros and cons of hiring a pregnant woman!!!

I suck for having said anything about being pregnant right??? or did I do the right thing????

Comment, please and tell me what you think!

I FINISHED!!!!

I finally finished!!! Yes, I finally finished the baby sweater, and I am so proud of myself. I should have finished sooner, but I've been super lazy lately with the knitting. So, here is the finished product... what do you think?

So... Ok, I am not 100% finished. I still have to put the buttons on, but I'm buying some nice wooden buttons to add to the sweater tonight. I love it... I can't wait to have the baby so I can put the sweater on him/her!

Now I'm on a roll... I'm starting a new one tonight! In a cute "celadon" celery color... I love it. I'll post pics as I make some progress.

So... that's it for right now... I gotta run to do some laudry, we have no clothes at the moment, not good. Then I'm off to make some salmon for my hubby, he loves himself some fish...

Ooohh... I'll post later about Tyler's 5th birthday party this past weekend... I know! He's 5 already! Where did the time go... makes me want to cry.
